As of September 30, 2013, we held certain investments that are required to be measured for disclosure purposes at fair value on a recurring basis. These investments are considered Level 2 investments and are all considered to be held-to-maturity securities. We consider as current assets those investments which will mature in the next 12 months. The remaining investments are considered non-current assets. The amortized cost and fair value of our investments, and the related gross unrealized gains and losses, were as follows as of September 30, 2013 (in thousands):
